Embark Studios released a hotfix for ARC Raiders on July 9 that addresses critical gameplay exploits. Players who rely on fair item economies now have a patched experience without the risk of unfair duplication. The studio applied these changes across all platforms without requiring any server downtime. Users simply need to restart the game to apply the update.
Embark Studios patches duplication glitch and UI bug
The update carries version number 1.000.049 and targets specific bugs that disrupted progression. One major issue involved an item duplication glitch that allowed players to gain significant advantages. The developer confirmed that they will continue issuing bans on accounts that exploit these glitches. This enforcement action aims to maintain integrity for the broader player base.
Beyond the duplication fix, the hotpatch resolves a user interface error in the Expedition screen. Players on their fourth Expedition previously saw Skill Points displayed instead of Mystery Rewards. This correction ensures that the interface accurately reflects the rewards available for that specific milestone. The change applies to all users regardless of their platform.
We looked at the last ARC Raiders update earlier while tracking Embark Studios' patch notes. Several of the same balance and stability themes came up in this latest release. The developer emphasized that they are actively monitoring for exploits and taking action against violators. The studio stated they will continue issuing bans on accounts that have been gaining significant advantage.
The hotfix arrives as a direct response to reported issues affecting item economy and UI clarity. Players can now proceed with the fourth Expedition without interface confusion. The ban policy remains active to deter future exploitation attempts.
